Just found out Joker 2 is a musical. Lol
Such a massive fail. You just can’t do that after the great first one.

I watched it, it’s not even a musical, it has musical breaks from the story. There’s one song that’s performed while moving the story along, the rest stop it in it’s tracks. Joker should’ve been a standalone film.

Honestly don’t see where the story could go from the first one in any good way. It was a perfect standalone

I was excited for this. Sounding like it is a skip

It’s the reason I noped out. I’m not a fan of musicals. Then they added a trendy pop star to it, killing the whole thing

I guess I missed the great bits between all the cringe

The whole movie spits on all the characters. Harley isn’t even called Harley. Harvey Bullock is Ernie Bullock for some reason. The rest seem made up and not from the comics

The original was never meant to be comic book accurate, so why expect the sequel to be as well?

They established a world with rules. Now they shit all over those rules and it’s suddenly a different universe where people break into song

Wait, why even make this then? He said multiple times that the first one wad standalone and its aged well. I dont think anyone asked for a sequel.

Sucks to suck! Jk. It’s just wild how much money gets spent on these things and all for nothing, basically. Crazy when you realize they make something like this and don’t even ask if fans will enjoy it
That said, I’m ‘gunna’ wait until Gunn’s first movie before I completely right off my dreams of a DC universe that’s on the same level as dark knight. I’m sure it would never be as r rated but I don’t think that’s entirely necessary, as much as I’d personally like it to be

more than anything it just seems like a massive loss of leverage for Phillips. he’ll probably get to make movies but never gonna get a long leash to make whatever he wants again.

They said the same thing about Rion Johnson
